    Our lattes
    Jennifer O.

    I happened to pass by this cafe on Saturday and did a U-turn to stop in. It was huge and I've never seen it before (well I don't frequent Rockaway blvd so I guess that's why ℓoℓ). Anyway, the decor is too cute, it's clean. And after speaking to the staff they say that all proceeds go to fighting injustices of the world. Let's get to the goodies tho. I got a snickerdoodle oatmilk latte o it was DELICIOUS. I got 2 birthday macaroons & a creme brulee which was also good. Everything I had was great and would certainly go back.

    Must try coffee shop on Rockaway. Vast menu with delicious drinks and food. Ample setting which is good as you can sit and enjoy your purchase. Only issue the day I visited is that they seemed short staffed. The very helpful cashier was also cleaning the tables and sometimes serving but through it all she was still pleasant which was great!

    i got The Big B.E.A.C.H Wafflewich + Nutella Latte :)

    Very comfy and convenient. Food was fresh, hot and tasted like it was made with love. Can't ask for more than that! Coffee was 10/10 flavorful and rich. Service was premium, smiles all around and really felt like we were welcomed. Chai was a tad on the sweeter side but still had a spice bite to it.

    Great cafe to come and work. I was able to plug my laptop in, eat breakfast, drink some tea and have my virtual meetings in peace. The staff is very pleasant and accommodating. The food is delicious . They recommended the waffles and it indeed was yummy. I hate the Caramel Oreo frappe- taste sooooo good! Very comfortable place to sit in. I highly recommend.

    Vanilla latte

    One star for the decor and staff being friendly. The tables are cleans and the menu options are very inviting (different flavored lattes), however my food felt cold. Toast was not toasted and I ordered whole wheat toast and was given plain white bread what seemed soaked in butter. The eggs were not very good either. The vanilla latte was just okay, but did not feel super hot just warm.

    Always a go to for good breakfast and amazing coffee and drinks

    Bacon, Egg and Cheese Sandwich

    Bacon egg and cheese on a croissant, FIRE!! Good service. The lady was sweet. Definitely coming back. Cute chill spot as well.

    Strawberry Milk Tea

    The cafe is adorable. Great place for coffee or boba tea. The bagel was good and the service was excellent. Was not thrilled with the Big BEACH sandwich. It was fresh, but lacked avocado and I didn't like the hot honey and the bacon was too raw for me. The sandwich was served with chips, would have been better with a side salad. Good quality but it's a bit pricey. Like another review stated, it's a great local neighborhood spot, I am not local so I will not return.

    Strawberry and Nutella Crepe-delicious!!!
    Ruby B.

    Ate at this cute little cafe near JFK airport after coming in on a red-eye flight. It's in an old neighborhood within a mixture of businesses. The menu is limited, but the offerings cover many breakfast cravings. My family and I ordered a bagel and scrambled eggs, a veggie omelet and an Eiffel Tower crepe that had strawberries and Nutella. Everyone was happy with their breakfasts. Flavors of the food were good and service was happy and helpful. It was a nice place to stop in after a long flight. Seems to be a favorite among locals.

    What an unexpected surprise coming from this little shop of joy. Traveling for business and needed something that checks every box for my team. Breakfast, coffee and pastries. Deliciously prepared and great presentation. The team was surprised for the amount of flavors in their pancakes, eggs and crepes. And of course I made myself a new lover and coffee connoisseur by trying his first Nutella mocha latte. Will certainly visit when I'm in town again. Top notch little coffee shop.

    So there was a private event there recently which I was part of…read more I have been there for a coffee but not for a private event and it was nice! It's easily accessible right by the subway and the LIRR is very close by. Since it was private they ordered their food which was mostly pastries with various flavors/toppings. I wanted savory since it was dinner time so I opted for I think a red pepper pastry which was yummy! My friend actually bought their pastries. One was a mango dessert with white chocolate outer shell and mango mousse. It was good but a bit sweet due to white chocolate and the cream inside was rich and creamy mango flavored. I am watching my sugar intake so just had a bite to try. The other was a pistachio Dubai mousse and oh my! It was amazing! I definitely am returning for this. Also they served chai which I tried a little. And tea but I was afraid to try the tea bc I am very sensitive to caffeine which causes me to have a hard time falling asleep so I opted out. Private event but service wasn't bad. Just wondered why there wasn't water for the guests if they couldn't drink tea/chai.

    I like coming here always friendly staff helpful and kind, the establishment clean…read more I ordered my usal Hibiscus ice tea. I noticed they now have kiosk to order ahead and the have fruit shape pastries and they serve breakfast from 7a-11:45a. Always a pleasure coming here.

    I've put up with this location for so long but at this point, I've made my last visit here. It's a…read moreshame because I never have no issues with food preparation here. Even the dunkalette I ordered here is especially good. The reason this place is getting a 1 star from me is that the service is absolute TRRAAASSSSHHHH!!! There are shady politicians in NYC that put more effort in their jobs than the workers in this place. My gripe about this place needs its own paragraph. This place has a reputation for lackluster service, the prior reviews here show I'm not alone in my discontent BUT this time is by far the most egregious offense. I've made my order on the Dunkin' app, which is by far one of the better made apps for quick service restaurants, it is surprisingly good and very rewarding...back to the story, whenever I make an order on the app, I at least give the place a 10 minute grace period, more than enough time for my stuff to already be made by the time I get there because I understand that there will be slight delays because the place has a drive thru as well but I just ordered one item so, rather easy for them to get it done. However by the time I get there, my dunkalette was nowhere in sight despite me giving them 11 minutes to complete one order. STRIKE 1! I get the attention of the server there who doesn't even recognize the order despite the order being completed on the app on that location and being on the computer behind him. STRIKE 2! The server, despite having acknowledged my order at this point, partially set up my order only for him to stop halfway and serve other people, even completing an order of someone who got here after me but got his before I did. Someone else had to finish the order I made on the app SEVERAL MINUTES AGO! STRIKE 3! I'M DONE! Wow I had a lot to say on this one but I needed to vent. This place has the potential to be a 3.5 at the least but is stuck under 2 stars because of the PITIFUL, GARBAGE, LOW EFFORT, DISGRACEFUL, LAME, BOTTOM SHELF service this place doles out just because they're the only Dunkin within miles with a drive thru. I've seen Postal Workers with more enthusiasm for their jobs than the people who do business here and it's just sad. If there was a Starbucks, Tim Hortons or even an indie coffee shop nearby, that place wouldn't be so damn lazy. I've literally had it with this spot.

    0 stars if I could, they are so dam slow in here. I wonder what it takes to work here. Everything…read moreis premade, you either have to heat it or mix up a few drinks. No way an order for munchkins and a coffee takes over 20 minutes. I guess the only nice thing I can say is that the location is kind of clean. The drive thru is a complete mess, you could do some serious damage to your car going through this wreck of a parking lot UPDATE: they served me pork when I ordered turkey. Didn't notice until I took a bite because I was driving and eating. This store is run by complete idiots.
